Bacon Roasted Brussels Sprouts

We are a family that loves roasted vegetables, fights can commonly occur over the last of whatever roasted veggie is on the menu. Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts and cauliflower are top contenders for favorite, we'll even eat them cold (oh hey that's me but I'm part of the crew too). Anyhoodle you roast it we eat it, especially if you add bacon to the mix.
